RUGER CLAwsoN, the first person in
Utah convicted and sent to prison under
the Edmunds anti-polygamy law, has
just been pardoned by the president.
He was sentenced to three years and
six months and to pay fine of $500. His
case created great excitement in the
territory ut the time. This is no doubt
wise step on the part OF Mr.. Cleveland,
as it is possible Utah may become DEM

A Question to BE Solved.

In the northern part of Nebraska are
two Indian reservations-the Omaha
aud Winnebago. AT the last election
in Dakota county, poor Lo girded on his
armor, painted his face in the colors of
the war-path. substituted election tickets
FOR the scalp-lock-and went forth to
battle with the ballot.
The old brave who had ambushed
the pale face from the sage brush and
rent the air with his wild war-whoop,
exercised the right which made him %
sovereign, without his eligibility
being questioned by the white man
who had given him gin-mill gratui-
ties for his support. But the
younger braves-some of whom were
less than sixteen years of age-became
imbued with desire to vote, and the
good democrats. it is alleged, contended
that they should exercise the rights of
citizenship, and accordingly the ballots
were deposited for Mr.. Davey, who was
the candidate for treasurer.
DR.. Wilkinson, the republican candi-
date for the same office, beaten by one
vote, will now contest the election, and
it will be determined whether or not an
Indian buck less than twenty-one years
of age, whether soaked with fire water
or fed on government ratiOns, has a
right to shape and form the destiny OF

WHEN James Gordon Bennett pro-
jectcd n Paris edition of the New York
Herald there was some doubt as to the
wisdom Of the enterprise. The opinion
was that American newspaper methods
would not be favorably received in the
French metropolis, whose people have
been educated to something quite differ
ent and could not readily be induced to
forego their prejudiccs in favor of the
French style of journalism. The result
thus far, however, has vindicuted the
sagacity of Mr.. Bennett, and the Paris
edition of the Herald is pronounced a
success. The enterprising publisher
gave on Sunday, to both Paris and Lon
don, notable example of American
newspaper energy. The election of a
| new president of France was an event
| of international Importance, warranting
the most liberal expenditure of jour-
| nalistic effort, and the Herald was equal
| to the occasion. The Sunday edition
contained not only a full account of all
| the proceedings and incidents connected
with the important event, but was also
freely illustrated with portraits of the
new president, the eX-presidents of the
republic, and the most prominent among
those who were candidates for the presi-
dency. Thousands of the paper were
sent to London, where they arrived in
the evening and were eagerly bought
from an army of newsboys, thus freely
acquainting the people of the English
metropolis with this most important
of the London papers. 1t was one o

THE BEST ADVICE.

How q Small Boy Saved the Great Henry
Clay from q Goats Fury.
A queer incident about the adventure
of the famous Henry Clay with a
Washington goat is fresh from the lips
of General of the army. He says:
Il think 1 can tell you new story
about Henry Clay which has not been
printed. 1 was a boy at the time.
Clay and party of Congressman were
walking down Pennsylvania avenue on
their way from the Capitol. In those
days Congress generally adjourned
about three o'clock in the afternoon
much earlier than it does now. We
boys were playing with a goao owned
by Goldman Nailor, the father of the
Nailor brothers.
"Well. Mr.. Clay came along in the
most dignified fashion. but there was
evidently something about him which
attracted the goats attention. With a
bound the goat made for Mr.. Clay; but
the latter saw him coming. and appre-
ciated the danger. We yelled: Look
outr But that was unnecessary, for Mr..
Clay seized the goat by both horns and
held him.
THAT was a comparatively easy mat
ter; but it was an open question as to
whether Mr.. Clay had the goat or the
goat him. As long rs Mr.. Clay held
on he was safe enough; but he knew
enough about goats to know that the
moment he let 60 he would be butted.
sure as death. There were various
suggestions made by the Congressman
present, but none of them seemed to
suit the exigencies of the occasion.
Finally Mr.. Clay appealed to the boys.
One little urchin stepped forward. and
said. in sharp. shrin voice:
Mr.. Clay, turn his head to the
right and run like blazes.'
CLAY obeyed the instruction. and an
instant later was safe in . store. The
goat went bounding down the avenue.
When Mr.. Clay came out Of the store.
he called the urchin up to him. and
and patting him on the head. said:

should be filled rising full. So, six

IRISH EMBROIDERY.
The Work OF Poor Cottagcrs In Countfes
Donegal and Galway.


Donegal and Galway.
Recently Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Hart
exhibited at Donegal House, Wigmore
street, a collection Of embroideries.
novel textiles, fabrics. tweeds and other
articles of hand-work, mostly made by
poor Irish cottagers in the counties OF
Donegal and Galway. They show a
proof OF what fine work Irish hands
can accomplish with little judicious
training and encouragement. Her
Majesty, it appears, took special notice
of some specimens of this hand-work
from Donegal on her visit to the ex-
hibition at Edinburgh. She has since
ordered several articles to be supplied
for her use at Windsor Castle and the
Princess of Wales and other members
of the royal family have followed her
example. Mrs. Ernest Hart has spent
q considerable part of the last two sum-
mers in Donegal, showing the Gotta
gers there how to help themselves by
adding artistics taste to their useful
handmade hosiery. She has intro
duced to them new designs, and the
people have found in their own boys
and ichens the materials of vegetable
dyes which are innocuous and perma-
nent. thus developing long dormant
native industry. The application of
these dyes has obtained the medal Of
the Sanitary Institute of Great
Britain. Some fine specimens of
embroidery on Irish poplin were
shown. and these also were the results
of some technical instruction which Mira.
Hart was able to impart in Donegal.
very many of the patterns thus artistic
ally worked being taken from the
Book of Kells," the Durrow bible. and
other early Irish and Runic sources,
while Others again were supplied by
Miss Carpenter, of Croydon. In these
great use has been made Of dax. .
material much neglected at present for
decorative purposes. and which hitherto
has not been thought q good re-
cipient for dyes. Besides the hosiery
and embroidery. there were also on
view some very beautiful tweeds. which
both in respect to material and execu-
ton are acknowledged by lage Scottish
houses to be equal to their own. On
another table were shown numerous
specimens of artistic needle-work and
embroidery. all executed by destitute
Irish ladies. Among the articles ex-
hbited the most admired were the
Hamilton bed covcrlet and the Tyreo.-
nell curtains, both ordered BY the
Queen, fine set of dark embroidered
curtains ordered for society Of artists
in New York, and the Duchess ooverlet,
% called because it has been ordered
BY NO fewer than SIX English ladies Of
that grade in the peerage. It may be
added that Mrs. Hart's work employs
about eight hundred hands - spinners,
dyers, carders and weavers- and In

more.-Lopdoa Times.

ODD DESIGNS IN BRASS.

ODD DESIGNS IN BRASS.
Kitchen and Bed-Roon.
Few people realize the important part
taken BY brass-work in modern house.
hold decoration. In bronze the French
and Belgian artisans excel. But the
workmen of England and America can
produce as good effects in brass IS may
be desired. Brass articles can be made
in large quantities from one model. In
bronze artistic finish must be given to
each piece individually. In England
good work is done in hammered brass.
In this process the article is made from
q single sheet of metal. Most of the
brass coal scuttles, which are so popu-
lar, come from England, and are pro-
duced in this way from single sheets.
The fine gauze work Of brass screens
and shades Is done in France. Brass
work is becoming more and more popu-
lar. 1t is much used in the decoration
of open fre-places and in ornamental
stoves it appears in a thousand designs.
The fact that an open CRATE fire sends q
large proportion of the heat up the
chimney, and hence is not strictly
economical, is lost sight of in the at
Effectiveness and cOziness it affords.
Every piece of brass-work has passed
through seven processes before it is
ready for sale. A cast of the design is
modelled in plaster Of Paris. and this is
cast in metal by the molder. The filer
then renders it perfectly smooth and
free from unevenness. 1t then goes to
the chaser. The article, whatever it
may be, probably consists of various
parts, which are brazed together with
hard solder and forwarded to the filer
once more. and then to the polisher
and colorer. In this way the common
est article made of brass is perfected.
What is called "shell-bark'' is more
elaborate. This is spun upon . block
known as ''chuck," and requires
very skillful handling. The copper is
first cut in sheets and placed over the
block on q lathe, and as the lathe re-
wolves the workman with steel instru-
men. molds the metal into the required
shape, until it is perfectly fitted on the
'chuck." The highest rate of speed
is necessary in thus welding the brass
upon the model, and lathe and "chuck''
revolve with great rapidity. In this
way knobs and balls of brass are made,
such, for example, as form the base of
chandeliers or the top of pedestals.
The Ornamental open work, which il
familia, to all, upon the chains Of chan
deliers. -.r that which has the appear
ance OF half relief, is made by still

branch of the trade receive high wages.
